Configuring a database

Lightning supports multiple databases, with MongoDB, Redis, and PostgreSQL all being offered as options.

MongoDB + Redis

MongoDB + Redis can be used with Lightning using the following database config.

If you don't want to use a connection string for MongoDB, you may use a ConnectOptions object. For Redis, you may configure it by passing a Deno.ConnectOptions object

import { revolt_plugin } from 'jsr:@jersey/lightning-plugin-revolt@0.8.0';

export default {
	prefix: '!bolt ',
	database: { 
		type: 'mongo', 
		database: 'mongodb://mongo:27017/lightning', 
		redis: { 
			hostname: 'redis', 
			transport: 'tcp', 
			port: 6380, 
		}, 
	}, 
	plugins: [
		revolt_plugin.new({
			token: 'your_token',
			user_id: 'your_bot_user_id',
		}),
	],
};

Redis

Redis can be used on its own with Lightning using the following database config.

You can configure how Lightning connects to Redis by passing a Deno.ConnectOptions object

import { guilded_plugin } from 'jsr:@jersey/lightning-plugin-guilded@0.8.0';

export default {
	prefix: '/lightning ',
	database: { 
		type: 'redis', 
		config: { 
			hostname: 'localhost', 
			transport: 'tcp', 
			port: 6380, 
		}, 
	}, 
	plugins: [
		guilded_plugin.new({
			token: 'your_token',
		}),
	],
};

PostgreSQL

PostgreSQL can be used on its own with Lightning using the following database config.

You can configure how Lightning connects to PostgreSQL by passing a ClientOptions object

import { discord_plugin } from 'jsr:@jersey/lightning-plugin-discord@0.8.0';

export default {
	prefix: '!',
	database: { 
		type: 'postgres', 
		config: { 
			user: 'server', 
			database: 'lightning', 
			hostname: 'postgres', 
			port: 5432, 
			host_type: 'tcp', 
		}, 
	}, 
	plugins: [
		discord_plugin.new({
			token: 'your_token',
			application_id: 'your_application_id',
			slash_commands: true,
		}),
	],
};
